You know what it's like...you wait for ages for a significant and interesting mid-nineteenth century rod to come along, and then three turn up together!

This month's new arrivals include a fascinating group of rods.

The first is by a London maker, Ebenezer Creed. Greenheart with tips in both lancewood and split cane.

The second rod is of a similar pattern, so likely another London maker, though unmarked. This rod has a hollow butt containing two tips, one of lancewood, the other split cane.

The third and final rod is perhaps the most interesting. It bears a number of similarities to rods made by James Ogden and may be the most significant of the three. all three rods will be included in the Early British Rods section as soon as they can properly be catalogued. Watch for more information about these three in the future.
